The Retall Merchants Association held a meeting to talre action against the plans for the new bridge over the Wabash river, for which he County Commissioners are about to ltt the contract. The merchants make the point that the plans are for the convenience of the street-railway company to the detriment of wagon traffic. It Is proposed to have a double track over the bridge, and this would hamper wagon traffic, which Is valuable to the merchants, as It Is the only passenger bridge over th Wabash between Clinton and Vlncennes. & distance of more than one hundred miles hr ittr. The association will seek to limit th sireet-rallway facilities to one track. -Th3cost is to be JITo.Ouo, and it is estimate Oat were It not for the accommodation ct the railway company a wagon and foot Ku.aenger bridge could be built for JlOO.Ov. As yet the county has made no terms with the street-railway company for rental, and the bridge once completed, with tracks ready for a tenant, the company will have tne advantage in making terms as a renter.

The ore put through weighed about 2.000 pounds.

Blacklidge, Louis Mehlig and R. Ruddill, of the Kokomo ' School Board, send the following to the Journal: "The extravagant report which has appeared in many papers to the effect that five hundred schoolboys were searched and all carried loaded pistols is so injurious to the good name of our city that it calls for a refutation by the School Board. One unloaded toy pistol was taken by a school principal and pronounced by the chief of police as unfit for boys to carry. The boy said other boys had the same kind, but only one other boy has been found to have had one. Out of this small circumstance has grown the slander upon Kokomo.

FIGHT ON IN TWO COURTS

RECEIVER DEMANDED FOR NEW ALBANY WATER C03IPANY. Petition Filed In Federal Conrt and Suit Brought in Floyd County Illegal Combination. The fight between the Louisville Banking Company and the New Albany Water Company over the appointment of a receiver for the latter concern is getting interesting. Yesterday, in the Federal Court, the Louisville Banking Company filed an amended supplemental bill, asking Judge Anderson to appoint a receiver and to order the sale of the New Albany Water Company. Yesterday, also, the city of New Albany, in the Floyd Circuit Court, brought suit against the New Albany Water Com pany, asking that a receiver be appointed by Judge Utz, of that court, and demanding judgment for $20,000 for the forfeiture of one year's water rent. Charges of illegal combination to destroy competition, and bad management, are made, receivers are asked for In two courts, and altogether the contest s warming up rapidly. The Louisville Banking Company is a heavy stockhÄder in the New Albany Wa ter Company. About a year ago that con cern applied to Judge John H. Baker for an injunction against the combination of the New Albany Water Company with the In diana Water Company, alleging that a movement was on foot to destroy competi tion. A receiver was also asked for. After a hearing of the parties interested. Judge üaker granted the petition, appointing v uHam W. Brooks receiver. He qualified and gave bond. Then the New Albany Water Company took an appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago. A decision was had in January last, In which Judge Kaker s decree of injunction was affirmed, but in which his decision as regards the re ceivership was reversed. The water company secured a rehearing, but- the decision remained unchanged. NEW BILL FILED. The mandate from the Circulf Court of Appeals was received at the Federal Court here last Saturday, and at that time the Louisville Banking Company, through its attorneys, asked permission of Judge Anderson to file an amended bill. It was filed yesterday. The Louisvilia Banking Company al leges that the men prominently interested in the New Albany Water Company have formed another company called the Indiana water company, organized for no other purpose than to do away with competition. They claim that the scheme is detrimental to the interests of the stockholders and seek to have the New Albany Company re strained. They also seek the appointment of a receiver and ask that the Federal Court order the sale of the property. Both the New Albany Water Company and the Indiana Water Company hold fran chises from the city, of New Albany, which charges Illegal combination. While the companies are apparently In competition the ellegatlon is made that they are in reality working together, and that the men interested in the New Albany Water Company are also' heavily interested in the In diana AVater Company. The application for a receiver in Judge Anderson's court and In the Floyd Circuit Court complicates matters. Tho Circuit Court of Appeals took the position that Judge Baker's appointment of a receiver was unnecessary, but it is said that facts will now be shown by the Louisville Banking Company which will change the status of affairs. Judge Anderson will probably set a date lor the hearing of the case at once. Some of the most prominent business men of New Albany are said to be involved in the affairs of the water company. DENIED LIQUOR LICENSES. Two Acton Saloon Keepers Fall Before County Commissioners. James Hoop and William 11. Davis, Acton saloon keepers, were refused new licenses yesterday by the County Commissioners. Three hundred and fifty citizens of the Acton neighborhood got up a remonstrance - which was effective. Both sides had legal talent present and Evans Woollen, attorney . for the' Indianapolis Brewing Company, who defended . the saloon men, said he would take the case into court. It Is understood that the camp meeting assembly at Acton Is responsible for the action being taken against Hoop and Davis. There was no evidence to show that Hoop and Davis are vicious men and there was no charge against them as cit izens. Barton Holmes at English's. On Saturday evening Mr. Burton Holmes, a lecturer on travel, who has won his spurs as successor to John L. Stoddard In all of the larger cities of this country during the past seven seasons, Is to give a lecture at English's Opera House, admission to which will be by invitation only. This is for the purpose of reintroducing Mr. Holmes to the Indianapolis public, for, as a boy, before he had achieved his present position, he was heard once or twice in this city. The subject for Saturday night will be "DenmarkThrough Hamlet's Country in a Motor Car." The subsequent series, to which Saturday's lecture will serve as an introduction, will consist of "Sweden, the Capital, the Country ami the Canals." "Norway 1, the Great Fjords" and "Norway II, the Land of the Midnight Sun." These will be given on April 29, May 5 and May 13 at the opera house. Immunity from Bee Stiugn. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I notice in your columns a statement made by Dr. IL F. Parker that it Is his belief that a person may become immune from the consequences of bee stings after having been stung a certain number of times. I can submit a parrallel proposition. I . believe that one may be bitten by the mosquitoes and black flies of the forest until he shall also become immune. I believe this not only from experience of my own, but from observation of guides over a period of a quarter century or more. It is a wellknown fact that guides never suffer from the bites of either of these insects. It is also true, I think, that "tenderfeet" In such regions suffer far more seriously than those who have some or considerable acquaintance with forest life. I think it Is also a fact that one may become so accustomed to the use of poisons of various kinds that eventually doses sufficient to kill several persons may be taken by him harmlessly;, DWIGHT H.
